The Changing Face
of the ATM Market

                    $
Banks and credit unions increasingly leverage
ATMs as tools to boost customer retention and loyalty.

Financial institutions are exploring new ATM capabilities that help them personalize and
enrich their interactions with customers. That’s why it’s not surprising that many financial
institutions plan to either expand their ATM fleet or replace their aging ATMs in the near
future, with the goal of providing better service and security.

Those are just a few key findings of the 2014 Cummins Allison survey of banks and
credit unions, entitled The Changing Face of the ATM Market. The survey shows that
as financial institutions replace aging ATMs or expand their current ATM fleets, many plan
to explore new capabilities such as video conferencing, biometrics and remote teller
assistance. Financial institutions are also demanding more from their ATM vendors,
including better quality service and support.

        58%
                        In the next 12 months, 58% of financial institutions surveyed plan to:
                        1   add to their existing ATM fleet, or
                        2   replace all or part of their existing ATM fleet.

                                                                                                 2
Supporting the local branch is still important
for financial institutions.

Studies show that while financial customers like convenience, they are not willing to
give up visiting their local branch. In fact, in a recent Accenture study, nearly 78% of
respondents said they planned to visit their local branch as often – or even more often –
five years from today.

So it’s a good thing that banks and credit unions remain committed to the local branch.
In fact, 91% of Cummins Allison survey respondents say the branch is still
“very important” or “extremely important” as a customer touchpoint.

Technology is critical in the move toward
customer-centric banking.

Of course, financial institutions recognize that online and self-service technology is
increasingly important in serving customers as well. In fact, more than 80% of the
financial institutions Cummins Allison surveyed ranked self-service customer options
such as ATMs, the Internet and smartphones as “very important” or “extremely
important” customer touchpoints.

Financial institutions face many challenges today,
with security upgrades topping the list.

Financial institutions have to adapt to many changes today, not the least of which
is Microsoft’s decision to discontinue support for the Windows XP operating system.
This means financial institutions must upgrade their ATMs to Windows 7 to implement
the latest patches and to maintain payment card industry (PCI) compliance.

32% of financial institutions surveyed are ahead of the curve, with ATMs that already
support Windows 7, while 61% of those surveyed said they planned to migrate their
ATMs to a Windows 7 operating system in 2014.

Also notable was the financial institutions’ commitment to supporting other security
upgrades, such as implementing Europay/MasterCard/Visa (EMV) on-card integrated
circuit (IC) encryption and security measures such as cameras and anti-skimming devices.

While striving to better serve their own customers,
financial institutions want better service from their
ATM vendors as well.

The ATM market will continue to expand, with the number of ATMs installed around the
world expected to grow as much as 44% between 2012 and 2018, according to recent
estimates from Retail Banking Research.

That means that many financial institutions will be making purchase decisions in the
next few years. What are they looking for in an ATM vendor? Most critical were “quality
of product” and “quality of equipment service,” with 94% or more of respondents calling
those “very” or “extremely” important when evaluating ATM vendors.

When it comes to evaluating ATM providers, financial institutions find the following qualities
“very” or “extremely” important:

To upgrade or to replace?
That is the question.

Our Cummins Allison survey showed that the existing ATM population is moderately old.
In fact, 58% of respondents said their fleet included ATMs that were five years old or older.

When deciding whether to upgrade these ATMs or simply replace them, banks and credit
unions must consider both required and desired upgrades. Implementing Windows and
EMV upgrades can be a costly process, and if an ATM is at the end of its 7-to-10-year life
cycle, a new machine could be the right choice – particularly if a financial institution wants
to offer new features to customers.

From EMV readers to remote teller assistance,
the ATMs of the future will look quite different
from those we use today.

Financial institutions have many plans to upgrade ATM technology in the next 3 to 5
years. These range from upgrades that help banks comply with new liability guidelines –
such as installing EMV readers – to technology that makes interacting with the ATM easier
for customers, such as touch-screen capabilities.

The bottom line is that ATMs can be a valuable tool in helping banks and credit unions
compete, and having the right ATM migration plan will be critical to a financial institution’s
success in the future.

A look at the survey respondents.

More than 390 banks and credit unions responded to the Cummins Allison survey,
The Changing Face of the ATM Market, which was conducted from April 23, 2014
through May 23, 2014. The survey clearly showed that financial institutions are
committed to deploying new technology and new features in their ATMs as they
move toward more customer-centric banking.

Survey respondents represented both large and small financial institutions,
with revenues ranging from less than $50 million to more than $30 billion.
More than 90% of respondents currently own 100 or fewer ATMs.

Respondents to the Cummins Allison survey include financial institutions of many different sizes:

                                      38%                               11%
